A clear weakening of playing strength makes it questionable as an "upgrade" in
my opinion.
All other extras and improvements should NEVER be at the expense of playing
strength, Unless specifically made clear. If it's simply not improved, that's
also not so good, but if it is EVEN WEAKER, then patches must patch up atleast
that!
I don't know if any other program was that much weaker than TWO upgrades
earlier!
